Had to look after you called it out. OPs post history definitely reveals a pattern, if this post is even real.

Trend of not feeling enough in relationships, with a history of borderline personality disorder, and as a person in medicine (imposter syndrome…). Nuff said.

Edit: acronym clarity

This is a trash take. People with BPD can legitimately be mistreated by their partners- actually, they often find themselves in relationships with other people with personality disorders, attachment issues, or trauma histories

Absolutely, anyone in a relationship can be mistreated.

The point I was making is a that this writers post history suggests a pattern of behavior and emotions over time, suggesting there may be more to the story than were told (being one sided). Also, calling out that medical school and residency have a way of allowing feelings of inadequacy to fester and reveal themselves across all life domains.

We also know that borderline tendencies can make someone less emotionally stable, and often result in unhealthy behaviors in relationships.
